Cookie Monster

Sometimes you just crave something
sweet and crunchy. For me this always happens when I scroll through my Tumblr
feed at 11 pm. All those yummy foods make me so hungry, but inspire me as well!
This cookie recipe was inspired by the video of Gabriella, aka Velvetgh0st on YouTube. But me and my
friend did put a Tumblr inspired twist on it, by putting Oreo cookies in the
middle. And I can tell you that this makes the cookies even more delicious!

So what
do you need?

200g butter

100g white
caster sugar

100g icing sugar

1 1/2 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla
extract

200g plain flower

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon
baking powder

1 Toblerone Bar
(we did eat some pieces so it was a whole bar minus 4 pieces :P)

Oreo cookies (We
used about six Oreo's, since we also wanted to try plain cookies)

First of all, preheat your oven to 180 Celsius or 350 Fahrenheit.

The next step
is to put the butter, caster sugar and icing sugar in a bowl and mix it
together until you have a creamy, fluffy consistency.

Then you take the eggs, whisk them together and add them to the butter mixture and mix again. You
can always add more egg if you want, but 1 1/2 should be enough! You also add
the vanilla extract at this point.

Now it is time for
the dry ingredients! Add the flower, salt and baking powder to the mixture. You
could sift all the dry ingredients, but I never really do that to be
honest.. Then you mix, mix, mix until
you get dough that tastes exactly like Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough ice cream, YUM!

Break the
Toblerone bar into pieces and cut all those triangle shaped chocolateness into big
chunks and add it with the dough and mix it together.

Now take a small
ice cream scooper and scoop a ball of dough on some greaseproof paper. Press an
Oreo in the dough and add a second dough ball on top. Make sure that you can’t
see the Oreo, so take a spoon and smooth out the dough on top of the cookie. If
you want to have plain cookies than just take one scoop of dough for one
cookie. I think me and my friend made about 10 cookies with this recipe. We
had six Oreo cookies and 4 normal ones, so with this recipe you can either make
8 Oreo cookies or 16 normal cookies.

Put them in the
oven for 12 minutes or until they are golden brown. Take them out of the oven,
let them cool off and they are ready to eat! Super yummy cookies that I could eat every day!
